POLICE have arrested 49 people this week in a northern Iranian city during a crackdown on "satanic" clothes, according to an IRNA news agency report.
The measures are the latest in a country-wide campaign against Western cultural influence in the Islamic Republic, where strict dress codes are enforced.

"Police confronted rascals and thugs who appeared in public wearing satanic fashions and unsuitable clothing," Qaemshahr city police commander Mahmoud Rahmani told IRNA.

Mr Rahmani also said that five barber shops were shut and 20 more warned for "promoting Western hairstyles".

In the past, such crackdowns have lasted a few weeks or months, but the current campaign was launched in 2007 and has not let up.

It includes measures against men sporting spiky "Western" hairstyles or women wearing tight trousers and high boots.

I can't believe you're even questioning that! If your faith was strong, you would know that he was perfectly straight. And way back then everybody was straight, anyway. Nobody even knew what gay was. Homosexuality is a modern thing.

Mommytoa3rdgradeboy: I just don't understand their need to "argue" over something that they say doesn't exists. If God doesn't exist to them, why even bother doing all these demonstrations and putting out signs JUST to say that something doesn't exist--I just don't get it.

LindaLee: Because they KNOW something DOES exist...they just hope it isn't what Christians have been talking about all their lives. They protest too much, too often and too harshly...which tells me they know Someone exist out there that they don't want to acknowledge.

PS...there is NO SUCH THING AS SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! All the Athiests/agnostics and government leaders need to read the 1st Ammendment... It specifically states that the GOVERNMENT is NOT to make any law concerning the right to establish a religious organization. I get so annoyed by the stupidity of the MINORITY espressing something that isn't even in the Constitution of these United States.

America has become a cesspool of iniquity, a giant Sodom and Gomorrah, with feminism recklessly leading the way. America's feminist women need to get back to reality, and start realizing that God created men and women very different from each other. This is not about equal rights, it's about common sense and accepting the truth.

Angela, if you’re not a Christian, you have no right to get married. Why do non religious people insist on getting married? Marriage is a RELIGIOUS union between ONE man and ONE woman. how hard is that to figure out?

If your not Christian or not of another religion that practices marriage, then you have NO RIGHT (none, zero, nothing) to get married. You're also sinning by denying the existance of God. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and this is how you honor him? by turning your back on him? disgusting.

why do I never see any Christian questions featured? why?

oh thats right, because yahoo hates Christians and hates moral family values. Yahoo is a website for left wing liberal socialists

[Given that most dinosaurs weren't giants, standing about as tall as a man or less, there would be good reasons to hunt them with spears. In fact, even with the giants, a hadrosaur would feed a village. Plenty good enough as a reason to hunt them with spears, bows or anything else.

So, why don't we see spear points in hadrosaurs?]

hadrosaurs aren't actually that small..(I don't think)....and even so, it would be much easier, I would guess, to kill mammals than it would be to kill a dinosaur -- better tasting too.

These hard-core ahtheist, aka liberal fascist, homosxuals celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ many times a day.

Whenever they write the date (i.e. 12 Dec 2008), the Birth is celebrated. They are reminded of the Birth routinely every single day, every hour, every minute of their lives. It is inevitable just as the sun rises in the East.

The entire world spins around the Birth of Jesus Christ.

Do the atheist/fascists/homosexuals wish to start the numerical year system over again ?

Sometimes I wish God would let me be the one to carry out His righteous judgement on these people [atheists suing to get God taken out of a Kansas Homeland Security law], but then I think about how wretched a sinner I am and have to be humble. Why the minority tells the majority what we can and cannot do is beyond me.

It is evil for any woman to deliberately cause lasciviousness by her immodest attire. Some women are very cruel. This evil is VERY common today. In fact, many people think it's perfectly normal and acceptable for women to dress whorish to arouse men, with no consideration for the sexual sins caused by their evil influence. Of course, men who are sin-loving pigs want women to wear pants and miniskirts. It is sinful for women to wear pants or miniskirts. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that it's wrong for a woman to look her best physically; HOWEVER, the Word of God clearly teaches that a godly woman should desire to attract men to her character, NOT her body... "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves" (1st Peter 3:3-5). Seldom do we see virtuous women anymore--who look, talk, walk, and behave like feminine ladies. In most cases, women are now wearing pants and all sorts of immodest clothing on purpose (1st peter 3:3-5).

(In a conversation about evolution and "how science hasn't learnt anything new in the last century")

everything is basically already created, and everything now is just improved and added to, the is no leaps and bounds of anything exiting and new we didnt already know, we cannot create a testtube baby, because they die, which proves evolution wrong... but we can clone only by injecting the DNA directly into an mother of the unborn. which means when born it will have the same DNA as the cloned,

Now the very worst of this battle of o-u-r vs. o-r comes when dealing with the only begotten Son of God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The modern day counterfeiters have changed Saviour to Savior. They have given us a six-letter Savior in place of a seven-letter Saviour. In Bible numerics seven is the number of completeness, purity, and spiritual perfection. On the other hand six is the number of man which is earthly not heavenly. Every one has heard of 666. It has a bad connotation and is not highly esteemed in Bible numerics.

The seven-letter Saviour is the only begotten Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The six-letter Savior is the son of perdition, the anti christ. He wants to be like the most High (Isaiah 14:14,) but not in a good way, but in an evil way. He is not a follower. He’s a counterfeiter. Therefore his final destination is the lake of fire. The new versions, along with the new age movement, and some of the King James Bible counterfeits are preparing the way for this six-letter so called Savior. That’s the way he will spell his name, S-a-v-i-o-r not S-a-v-i-o-u-r. No thank you Satan. I’m sticking with the seven-letter Saviour as portrayed in the old black Book that I inherited from my forefathers.

People only need to have one sex-partner their entire lives. Anyone who has more than one sex-partner (thereby committing the sin of fornication) deserves to get an STD and be cursed for the rest of their lives with it!

Seriously, why do people fornicate so much? I'll honestly never understand it. Don't people want to share their sex-life with just one person, thereby making the union even more special?

If the pretentious, self-worshipping arsewarts really believed their arrant nonsense, they would refuse to have anything to do with holidays. Or maybe they should have their own unholidays, and celebrate the births of Dicky Dawkins and Chucky Darwin.

BTW, troll, I was one of those ignorant jerks for over 20 years, and then I matured.

Is there a connection? I can't help but notice all the vampire themes lately in the media. Two movies, "Let the Right One In" and "Twilight" are in the movie reviews this week and both have vampire themes. My sister has teen age girls, and she said the hottest books right now among her age group are also vampire themed.

Why is that? Is there some new age connection? Or is it just about introducing more blood and violence to desensitize people? Or is there some sort of end times connection just because it is anti-biblical?

[This is a classic case of "Exactly What It Says On The Tin". If you're so opposed to homosexuality, why watch the GAY POWERTHIRST video?!]

Based on my religions beliefs, homosexual BEHAVIOR is a sin just like
drinking booze or having sex outside of a marriage.I can not do anything to help sins against the teaching of the Bible
thus I can not, based on my religous beliefs, allow any of these
activities on my property, INCLUDING rental property I might own. The
civil rights laws that say I would have to rent to drinkers, unmarried
couples, or gays violate my right to live up to my religion thus such
laws are UNCONSTITUTIONAL

[Similarly, you can tell that Jesus never existed by looking carefully at the things he allegedly said and did. Virtually every detail of the life of Jesus is piecemealed together from stories, phrases, characters, and events in the Old Testament. He’s obviously a work of fiction.]

hmmm, there is more evidence supporting the historical person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth than there is for Plato or Socrates or even Napolean for that matter....(according to amount of accepted ancient manuscripts and secular parallel history)

but..

Because Jesus is so controversial in HIS teaching we have to somehow marginalize HIM out of existence

Why do gays chose to be gay? Because they are proud and defiant. They are, in their pride, rebelling against God when they go against His Word. They want to live in their sin. That is why people chose to be gay. Again you are lumping everyone in the same category. I and other Christians I know, would never hurt, call names or abuse anyone for being gay. And we'd certainly NEVER murder anyone for it! And also,? it's not just supposed Christians who do this to the gay people. There are plenty of non-believers who do this and they are the murderers. God told us to do no murder in the Ten Commandments. A true, sincere Christian would never do this to a gay person or anybody else.

"I am sure science will find the answers. It always has and always will."

"Science", or rather secular humanist men of "science" have produced a plethora of lies in an attempt to discredit the bible, such as inventing the idea of an oort Cloud to explain away comets, when there is not physical or observed evidence it exists. It's the most bogus, ridiculous, silly, and falicious concept ever put forth in science, next to evolutionism that is.

The fool hath said in his heart there is no GOD. "The group seeks unspecified financial damages and legal fees" What exactly has it cost you non believer's PRAY tell, that you want you're so called damage's and attorney fee's? If you want the almighty dollar so much, get a real job and earn it the old fashon way. The time has come in our Country and State for this type lawsuit to end, and what better time to stop it than here and now in our KENTUCKY? If you hate the word GOD and JESUS CHRIST as much as you say you do perhap's you would feel more at home in another Country. I have heard that GOD is not welcome in some Mideast Countrie's. Let us know how you like the sand and high temperature. In the end you will see alot of breathtaking thing's come to past that you have never seen as well. Get right with GOD, everyone, and you won't have to pray for the rock's and mountain's to fall on you and hide you from the face of GOD

ironic, so the scientific community thinks the earth started in hell, and then sometime in the future the earth will be swallowed up by the sun and so everything will essentially return to the same fiery hell that it emerged from. So we have two distinct stories: God says he is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, yet the scientific community's "divine" plan is hell in the beginning and hell in the end...hell is the alpha and the omega.... Many of them, I fear, will get their wish.
